Green Post Workout Recovery Shake

smoothie - protein - vegan
I wanted to share with everyone my favorite post workout smoothie. I make it a point to have one of these smoothies everyday – even on my rest days. Each person’s body is different along with their goals. If you want something with less fat, I recommend using one tablespoon rather than two.

Another variation is to use unsweetened coconut water instead of unsweetened almond milk. Sometimes, I add a ¼ cup of pineapple too. Normally, I use the Raw Protein cacao flavor.

This morning, I tried out Raw Protein’s new flavor Yerba Mate. It had more of a chocolate flavor. I thought it tasted really good!

All these variations taste amazing. At any rate, here is my post workout meal:

Ingredients

  • 1 c. unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp. chia or flax
  • 1 scoop protein powder
  • 2 tbsp. peanut butter
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 2 handfuls of spinach

 
Directions
First, I start with the almond milk. I then add the chia or flax, protein powder and peanut butter. Following that, I add the spinach and top it off with the banana and three ice cubes. Blend until smooth.
